Economics of Financial Crises Course
What Will I Learn?
You will understand how financial systems work, why they periodically collapse, and how governments and central banks respond. The course covers theoretical frameworks such as Minsky's Financial Instability Hypothesis, behavioural finance, and network contagion models. You will analyse landmark crises from the Great Depression to the 2007–2009 Global Financial Crisis with structured analytical tools. Quantitative methods like stress testing, early‑warning indicators, and systemic risk measures are applied to real data throughout. You will also examine financial regulation, macroprudential policy, and the political economy of crisis management. By the end, you can forecast vulnerabilities, evaluate policy responses, and make strategic decisions under financial uncertainty.
